PIC16f690 LCD Not Working

[Archangel]

Are you using this chip on a solderless breadboard or are you using the Low Pin Count Demo Board from Microchip ?
this is you code with only minor tweeks and it works on a solderless breadboard. try grounding the contrast pin #3 on the lcd. This is compiled using MPASM as it is what I always use.
